I have never understood all the hate for Trgo around here. Granted, the defensive has certainly played more aggressively this year which is more enjoyable to watch but they have NOT been more effective and by any measure, this was not their best year. That would be 2005 when Footballoutsiders.com had them ranked as the #1 defense. You can hate him all you want but you can't hide from the fact that he did have a couple of really good years.

I think Trgo's major fault was he let Fox walk all over him which eventually created problems. I DO NOT think Meeks has that problem and I would venture to guess that Pepper's problems last year had to do with Fox and not Trgo. I also believe Peppers enjoys playing for Meeks and will stay as long as he knows Meeks will be here.

Could be wrong but Peppers did say he would have more to say in a couple of days and that would be about the time when the coaching staff "uncertainties" should be cleared up.

the funniest thing about the trgovac hate was watching people try to rationalize the team's defensive success while he was the DC

"well you see it's the tide of support and the remnants of del rio that um, uh, hey look at the kitten."

I understand he had a good year here and there.. but I don't understand how you connect the dots when you say Fox walked all over him and that Meeks doesn't have that problem?

And considering '05 was quite a while ago... Meeks has improved an aspect in our game that was seriously lacking for quite a while now.

      Another example of Bryce playing chess that casuals wouldn’t notice or appreciate

      I'm probably one of those posters, but I make those posts because there are too many things going on that don't make sense. For instance, how does a RB that does something that hasn't been done in 14 years immediately get reverted back to 2nd string, and it takes a leadership council to make him the starter when he's averaging 3x the YPC? Your average fan shouldn't be screaming that for 2 weeks before the coach sees it. And that's one of many.  What you're seeing is frustration that we could be better, that we should be better, if our owner, FO, and coaches could do things that are so painfully obvious to even the most basic fan

      I think we're all struggling with what things are right now and what they have been. It's like getting ready to have bandages removed after a long period of injury. The healing, the new growth, they aren't going to be pretty, there's going to be some ongoing issues for a while at best and there's every chance that we're going to have to go back into the bandage situation all over again. And that sucks. But it's also a place where maybe, just maybe, the recovery is going to finally start happening. The bad days will be getting behind us.  It's not going to happen this year, but I believe from what I see that this year is showing that improvement. We focus on the QB because that's what all the pundits focus on, because it's the flashiest and most heralded position on the field. No one wants to put out a tweet about how a center is holding down their job and anchoring a line. They rarely celebrate that blocking tight end or special teams gunner. That fourth CB on the depth chart? Not a mention. And yet, those guys are the kind that we've been building here, we're building the lunch pail guys AND finding some future stars.  Is Bryce one of them? Might be a cornerstone of the team in the future as the second QB, might somehow just show out to end the season. Might flame out like many expect. But if that uncertainty is all we concentrate on, we're just going to miserably look at this team and maybe miss out on some solid green shoots that are finally beginning to poke through into the sunlight.
